This was at one of my customers shops. I think I might be able to afford a Jet boat like this one day...

Why would someone build a ship like that with a jet, as inefficient as a jet is?  :screwy:

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Big boats wanting relatively high speeds have been going to jets for quite a while.  None are doing 100+ but when the're matched to turbines do quite nicely. Saw one on Mega Machines 130' and doing 80.  NAvy is going with jets on boats designed to stay out of blue water. The NAvy thought 40 knots was fast so anything over that and they are thrilled. Look for the show on the X-craft on the military channel.

Top is of a class of ships that are currently in use by the US Navy, and they are jet boats.  While they can cruise at about 39 knots, my craft (though not a jet) can smoke that thing and we just barely touch the water..  :thumbup:
